Bonjour et bienvenue à Uzes!
A woman said to me,a few years ago : "The first time I saw Uzes I cried. It was wonderful to see a village so beautiful and ancient yet so alive and vibrant". I look forward to helping you experience the magic of Uzes!
To enter your apartment you walk through a huge oak door off a classically French cobblestone, pedestrian street. As you walk up to the first level of this ancient, stone house you will know you have found your own "home away from home" in the real France.
Your apartment welcomes you with the warmth of stone walls, beamed ceilings, elegant lighting and colors. You will find all the comforts of home with gas central heating, very well equipped kitchen and all the little touches that make a difference: guide books, UNLIMITED WIFI, PHONE WITH UNLIMITED CALLS TO FIXED LINES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, CABLE TV, traveling book library, maps, ideas from previous guests and a market basket to ensure you are equiped from your very first day.
Being south facing the apartment has excellent natural light and at 46 square metres it is very comfortable for a couple and perhaps 1 child or other adult.
When you walk out of the front door, you are in the very heart of the "old town". You can spend hours exploring the maze of little winding streets and historic sites, you could take a picnic to the river valley or just soak up the atmosphere of this town that has been declared a national treasure. The famous market on Wednesdays and Saturdays is at the end of your street. Cafes, patisseries, boulangeries, restaurants, hairdressers, banks are all within a few metres of the front door. Yet the apartment is tranquil and relaxing.
There is free car parking (open air) or paid parking can be arranged at our private garage just a few minutes flat walk away. It is great if you can plan your arrival on a Friday, to be there to enjoy the famous Uzes Saturday market, to get your provisions for the week and to begin to meet and get to know the locals. However there is no set change over date for the apartment.
I want you to enjoy your stay so I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the region or the apartment. Having traveled to France a lot (and often with children!) believe me - there are no silly questions!
I look forward to helping you enjoy a trouble free, enchanting stay in Uzes.
J'espère parler avec vous bientôt!
BY THE WAY.....
WE ALSO NOW HAVE A PRIVATE GARAGE FOR YOU, WITHIN A 5 MIN WALK FROM THE APARTMENT FOR 40 EURO A WEEK.

Dear Nicky We just wanted to let you know that we have had the most wonderful week in Uzes. We can understand how you and your husband fell in love with this town. We love the apartment and it's location. Today was market day and the hordes of people and all of the stalls make this a lovely town. We had coffee this morning with Monica and what a lovely lady she is. You are lucky to have her looking after your place. We will pass one our love for Uzes to friends and others and hope one day to come back here. It has been extremely hot all week and your apartment has been just what we needed. Kind regards

COPIED OVER FROM HOMEAWAY SITE - ORIGINAL REVIEW CAN BE SEEN THERE. We stayed in Ucetia in Uzes in June 2011. We were met by the wonderful Monica who gave us great tips of what to do in the area and around town. Uzes was great. The apartment was well appointed - probably not suitable for 4 people but in a great location in the centre of town. Close to the Saturday markets, the butcher just outside the front door and a tea house across the road for a very short run for a baguette or pain au chocolate. I can highly recommend it as there is plenty of room. Nicole is also great to deal with and provides alot of information about Uzes and the general area.

Comment rating: Positive Comments: We had a wonderful time, staying at Ucetia apartment, Uzes. The location of the apartment was very central. Everything we needed was within a short walking distance. The apartment was comfortable, and user friendly. I would only suggest that the owner make Wifi available for guests to use. Monica (local representative) was delightful. She provided us with great information about local sights and things to do in Uzes, as well as other towns around the area. Overall, a great place to kick you heels back and relax.

We would all very much like to return there one day in the not to distant future and can only once again say thank you.

The apartment is perfectly situated in the great village of Uzes. Close to essential things like bakeries and wine shops (and generally everything else). The apartment is beautiful - cool inside when its warm outside. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking if you decide to stay in. All in all, highly recommended.
